Michael Beckerle updated DAFFODIL-1056:
---------------------------------------
Priority: Trivial (was: Major)
> DPath: Decreased precision - Compile Time vs Runtime SDE
> --------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: DAFFODIL-1056
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DAFFODIL-1056
> Project: Daffodil
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Diagnostics, Usability
> Affects Versions: s15
> Reporter: Jessie Chab
> Priority: Trivial
>
> From Mike: Yeah, this is a decrease of precision, but the new DPath
> implementation changes came with some loss of proper categorization.
> Basically, some areas where the code was clearly compilation time or clearly
> runtime have been replaced by common code that is used in both cases, and
> that code issues an SDE. Nothing recaptures this and converts it into a
> "Runtime" SDE currently.
> So I'd say it's a bug that we've lost this precision, because I like having
> the separation where SDEs that are detected to occur at runtime are
> explicitly identified. But the DFDL spec doesn't say when anything has to be
> detected.
> So if we view the test as testing the DFDL spec requirement, then making the
> test less precise is ok. If we view the test as verifying our desired behavor
> for Daffodil, then the loss of precision is a bug.
> I suppose really there are two tests then.... I would prefer not to fix this
> particular issue right away however.
> Changes in diagnostic behavior are probably the biggest observable places
> where behavior will have changed
> Associated test(s):
> test_variableRefError
